STOP THE STONING!

Why this is important

July 11, 2013, a Pakastani woman was stoned to death because she had a cell phone. This is just one in a line of regular stonings extending back through history. Stoning is a barbaric practice, illegal in most countries but practiced in many, it targets women primarily as a way to control other women through fear. We have got to stop this. Money talks when reason fails!

SIGN THIS PETITION

We are writing to demand President Barack Obama not give another penny of US taxpayer money for any reason to any government that allows the practice of stoning to continue, even if laws exist clearly stating that stoning in that country is illegal. Countries must protect women, who are the especially targeted population, as well as men from this barbaric practice meant to create an environment of terror, by strengthening and enforcing any existing laws, writing new law prohibiting the practice, and prosecuting to the full those who encourage, participate in such activities, or even stand by to watch.
